Beach access

On topic of Constitutional concerns with beach rockets... Texas has a Constitution too. That Constitution, like all State Constitutions, is a mess. (Colorado's at least has TABOR, which mades up for a lot of Constitutional sins.) Among Texas' amendments is a "beach access" thing.

The very word "access" is a red-flag. In this case, what if the beach is being used for essential stuff. Like rockets; they are best launched west of big water.

One knock-on effect, if the Texas courts rule to the letter of this (rotten) law, is that someone might want access to the Ship Channel southeast of Houston. Or anyplace where is shipping around refineries.

I suspect that is the plan, to Californicate that state. UPDATE 2/13 Like how Colorado is about to shut down gas drilling and refining, For The Climate.

BACKDATE 2/15
